K-State's Brown a Butkus candidate

Kansas State's Arthur Brown was one of 51 players named to the preseason watch list for the Butkus Award, which recognizes the top linebacker in college football.

Brown, who led the Wildcats with 101 tackles last season, also was named to watch lists for the Nagurski Trophy and the Bednarik Award. K-State players have made eight appearances on preseason watch lists, the most for the program since 2000.
